Thanks Chris, we got the bottom plank in place using that technique of cutting into the plank along the centre of each station. This method also gave us an accurate point to redraw the profile on with a batten.
Now we have glued on the transom, midship frames, and stem to the bottom plank. We will finish planing the bottom plank today and start working on the next sheet to scarph.
How is it?
ReplyDeleteGood work with this description of creating the bottom plank. I saw the beginnings of some good fair planning of this plank. Planning the bevel in situ is hard. Have you ever thought of doing this another way?
Can you insert some pictures?
